In the last month, the community of Varsity reported 10 residential break-ins, theft from vehicles and vehicle theft. Councillor Sutherland strongly recommends that residents connect to The Hub Messaging System, a Calgary police community automated notification system that delivers vital information to residents and business owners within the City of Calgary at: https://hiplink.calgarypolice.ca/websignup/wsuedit.html

In the fall of 2014, The Calgary Police Service also reported a rise in burglaries in Ward 1. In almost all cases, the culprit gains access to residences by removing screen windows/doors, opening unlocked windows and doors, or via an overhead garage door.

Remember to:

Lock the door leading from an attached garage to the residence, as screen doors and windows can be easily cut or removed.

Turn off power to the overhead garage door.

Residents are reminded to lock their vehicles at all times. Do not leave any valuables inside, including your garage door opener.
